Title: ED30 front lip/spoiler
Post by: Johnny_tro on January 01, 2015, 05:39:59 pm
I'm looking round for one at the moment but there is something I'm unsure on.....the centre section of the spoiler. Should a genuine one have vents/slays outs? or should it be one SOLID piece?

Examples.

This ones appears solid

This one appears to have cut outs/slats

The OEM Ed. 30 front splitter has 2 parts, the main and the lip, but no vents between them.

The Votex front splitter has vents, like the one in the 2nd picture.

I prefer the OEM Ed. 30 shape.

An edition 30 lip is one part, its not 2 parts like the normal gti splitter

Sorry for my mistake. I previously had an OEM GTI front splitter and then I got a replica that's just one part so I thought the OEM part would be two parts like the normal GTI.

You can get much cheaper ABS replicas on ebay. The replica fits well and after being painted I don't think it's easy to know if it's genuine or not.
